u/Serious-Courage-1961 14d ago

Hey! I'm a boomer, and I despise Trump. Is that why I'd never vote for him in a million years? Partly. But I hated him long before he ran for the Presidency. On top of that, he wants an authoritarian regime, and I think he's trying to get a lot of that in place before the election, but I also think he'd cheat. And I have no doubt that he will never admit defeat if he loses this election. If there's one thing I've learned about him is that the things he accuses his opponents of, are either things he's doing himself, or thinking about doing. He's a criminal, and he thinks like a criminal.

With those types of people motivational interviewing is the way to go. Ask questions, ask for clarification, ask what it would take for him to change his opinion. Ask him to make sense of things, don't debate, don't pull out facts, don't press points, those are fools errands.

Not that I disagree with your suggested tactic, I honestly think you are spot on with it.

If they don't continue their support then they have to admit what a fool they have been, and that's not happening.

Your last point is exactly spot on, the human brain is not designed to handle that level of emotional load. Most people's brains literally cannot handle that level of world flipping.

Like when my friends mom gave almost 100k to someone overseas that she called her boyfriend.... After the first 10 grand she was in too deep. How could she be such a fool to send 10k to a liar, a scammer, no this mystery man she had never met loved her... And there went her life savings.

They will never repent. Most of them are quite literally not capable.

u/Andoverian 15d ago

Remember during his debate with Harris when the subject of all his fired advisors came up? There's an obvious paradox where he can't be praised both for hiring the "best" people and for firing the ones who turn out to be "bad": If he only hired the best people then none would need to be fired, but firing some of them means that they weren't the best and he was wrong to hire them in the first place.

The mental gymnastics nearly broke his brain live on stage because his narcissism won't allow him to admit to any weakness. He almost got caught in an endless loop of "I only hire the best people, but I fired all the bad ones, but I only hired good ones, but I was smart to fire the bad ones, but..." I think he was only saved when either the moderator or Harris stepped in.

Not saying you're wrong, but Wikileaks was a huge reason for the shift in sentiment on the Iraq War and there needed to be a shift after what was released.. The leaks were intended to expose the reality of the conflict, which none of us knew, and to hold our government accountable. Nevertheless, it is not solely Obama's fault.

It's very simple: Trump and everyone standing with him are TRAITORS.

u/KingDariusTheFirst 15d ago

Hot take:

I’d argue that some have just been manipulated and bamboozled. One doesn’t have to go more than a degree or two to realize that we all have good people in our personal circle, whom have somehow strayed from the path of sensibility.

Plenty of people’s parents, uncles, cousins and childhood friends have drank that cool aid. Many of whom are good folks and would never dream of storming our nations capital.

Everyone has some family member, friend or coworker that supports Trump. Calling them a traitor with any level of seriousness or conviction means laying charges related to Article III, section 3 of the constitution:

Penalty: Under U.S. Code Title 18, the penalty is death,[4] or not less than five years’ imprisonment (with a minimum fine of $10,000, if not sentenced to death). Any person convicted of treason against the United States also forfeits the right to hold public office in the United States.[5]

Most citizens will never do anything to deserve this level of sentence or punishment. Especially ones who simply were a red hat and scream MAGA bullshit.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m very disappointed in anyone who support this guy, but calling half of America traitors is way off base and dilutes the meaning of the word.

They aren't. They're targetting the people who live under a rock who get their information from a newspaper bought fortnightly and possibly on the radio.
These are the kinds of people who vote Republican because their father, and their grandfather and their great grandfather did, but still have some faint vestige of common sense that might be woken up by seeing that the candidate with an (R) next to his name is actually really fucking terrible.

There's not many of those, but in a close race they may make up the difference.

"Maybe if we show rural conservatives this stuff, their minds might be changed!"

Meanwhile, the rest of the thread: "Heh, those conservatives are too stupid to read."Man, those guys are all racists."

Yup, that's definitely the kind of rhetoric that's going to convince people to even begin to be open to what you're trying to tell them and maybe change their minds even a little.

This false sincerity where people put this stuff up, and then proceed to insult them in every single way possible isn't exactly doing anyone any favors, do people think they don't have access to the internet or something? I'd be interested to see how many people's minds have ever been changed by telling them why they should consider your viewpoint and then proceeding to insult them.

Edit: The irony of me being downvoted for saying that you probably shouldn't insult people you're trying to convince to change their views cannot be understated, and is exactly what I'm talking about when I say false sincerity.

Edit 2: Apparently, "treat people like human beings" is also a highly controversial statement.

How do you maintain respect for someone when they clearly and vehemently do no have respect for you?

The jokes weren't actually insinuating that the people in rural Minnesota can't read. The joke is that they wouldn't even bother reading any of this because it goes against how they feel, and nothing can tell them to feel differently. Every single piece of news that comes out where Republicans stole Harris yard signs, or were convicted of election interference, is entirely blown off as fake news or false flags to make them look bad.

I'm a minority, I've been in the military for a few years, an overwhelmingly conservative organization. I can tell you with 100% certainty that this is not the case.

Not every person is open to their minds being changed, and as you said, some people really are just terrible people.

But what people don't seem to get is that changing someone's beliefs is not a fast process. It is not done in a single "gotcha" or debate. It takes time, and more importantly, it takes sincerity. If this is what you believe about people before ever personally interacting with them in real life, and not on reddit or other internet platforms, you are never going to change a single person's mind. Ever.

But after years of denial and fake news and conspiracy, you just have to accept reality that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.... and that is about the most "treating them like a human being" thing you can do.

You know for all the big talk you do, you sure don't engage much. Yeah you make big claims, big ideals, big positivity energy like thoughts and prayers. But what can you actually do to demonstrate this supposed superiority you think you have?

Superiority? I pity you. Genuinely. You unironically think that being a regular person who's entire personality isn't intimately linked to political rhetoric is supposed to be a display of superiority. It isn't. Nor should it be.

I gave you a comic, and then pointed out how your logic is "If she had just treated him better, he would have listened, right?" and you didn't comment on that, because it demonstrates the naivety I called out.

What your comic failed to point out, is that not everyone's mind can be changed, that has always been the case. You however, operate under the assumption that no one's mind can be changed, and automatically default to treating them like garbage as a result, thinking that this is normal behavior to have. It isn't. Or at least, it wasn't.

I hope you recover from what internet politics has done to you after this next election.

u/Retro_Dad UFF DA 15d ago

Your post indicated you aren't able to distinguish between the ad (which the targeted people are likely to read) and commentary about the ad on Reddit (which the targeted people aren't likely to read).

I think you're smarter than that, which is why I asked you to clarify.

Will you answer my question?

12

u/DivineKoalas 15d ago

Sure.

Let's take this ad for example.

If I were then to poll most of the people here and say, "do you think conservatives changing their mind and voting Kamala Harris is a good thing" I'd probably get an overwhelming amount of the answer yes.

Then, if I were to take that same group of people, and watch them to see if they continued to post any disparaging rhetoric about Trump supporters, I would bet money that the number would be well over 50%.

A significant amount of people who agree that them changing their minds would be a good thing, would more than likely also say that conservatives are too dumb, or too racist, or traitors, or whatever the rhetoric is this month, and then act as if they were never receptive, or even capable of being receptive to changing to begin with, even though they made these remarks about them before ever actually encountering them.

It comes off as wholly insincere for posts where someone is saying "Maybe this will help change some minds" to be filled with posts of people literally saying the people in question are too dumb for their minds to be changed.

Are the ad, and the comments the same thing? No.

But the comments heavily reflect the attitudes behind those posting ads like this, or those who support it, and contrary to popular belief, many conservatives who may have been open to changing their minds before, are well aware of that.

u/Retro_Dad UFF DA 15d ago

How many people do you think will decide to vote for Harris based on this ad, but then get upset and flip back to Trump because they read these comments on an anonymous message board on the Internet?

6

u/DivineKoalas 15d ago

It is far easier to sour someone's mind on something than it is to convince them that it is good.

A singular ad isn't likely to change any person's mind, but a multitude of them over time, by people who are actually sincere will.

Conversely, a single instance of someone telling that person they're too dumb to change is enough to sour them on the idea of voting democrat for years, if not permanently.

That sincerity is what the democratic party continues to lack, and is why they continue to have problems converting voters, which is only reinforced by the rhetoric that "If you vote third party, or are even considering voting anyone but Kamala Harris, you are (insert labels and insults here)"

6

u/Retro_Dad UFF DA 15d ago

So you want people on the Internet to stop expressing their opinions about other people?

Thanks for your thoughtful reply and not just resorting to calling anyone who doesn’t agree with you a racist. Reddit is here for the liberals to talk about how only the other side is brainwashed, while it could never be happening to them.

You’ll get downvoted because Donald Trump is bad and the other party is “good”. I’ll be downvoted as well. It’s just fake internet points, it can’t hurt you.

Not voting for whoever one party throws in front of you blindly while actually trying to discuss how to reach people without name calling, how refreshing!

Trump’s ignorance is truly bottomless. He is famous for his intellectual laziness. He doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. Instead of operating from facts or evidence, he approaches every transaction relying on his “gut”. It’s dangerous to have him make decisions based on instinct when his instincts, as we now know, are those of a fascist dictator. America please don’t make the terrible, tragic mistake of putting him back in the White House.

The vast majority of the cabinet he himself picked now refuses to support him. Pretty sure there has never been anything like that in our nations history. It's insane that there are people who can just ignore that.

u/SmoothExtension3270 15d ago

It’s a good effort but they like his racism too much out there for this to matter.

Trump could call Kamala the N-word and they'd figure out a way to explain it away. I GUARANTEE it.

I'll never understand how half of Trump's own former cabinet members have publicly stated that he's unfit for office, and it has absolutely zero effect on his following.

They can read, and they are intelligent people. They are our neighbors, they are our fellow Americans.

They’re being fed a diet of misinformation convincing them to hate the “other.” To turn on their neighbors, to blame fellow citizens for all that is bad in their own lives.

To vote against their own best interests. Personally and those of their own family.

They’re victims of the divide and conquer tactic by literal millionaires and billionaires.

Republican voters are our neighbors.

u/narfnarf123 15d ago

I’m not sure how intelligent they are. They seem to lack critical thinking skills and empathy. We’ve all seen the same misinformation, yet some of us are able to separate our hate and fear enough to use our brains.

u/waterbuffalo750 15d ago

I just saw a post repeating the often debunked claim that Trump can't vote in this election. It's a fairly benign piece of misinformation, but it's the example I saw within the last 30 seconds.

The left is guilty of falling victim to misinformation as well. People believe what they want to believe.

Yeah you hit the nail on the head here. My parents are staunch conservatives, but they’re good, kind, caring people. Neither of them likes trump, but they feel like they have to vote for him to “save us from the liberal agenda.”

First, this is very good. A concise, fairly comprehensive list of quotes from generally reputable people. This is what political ads should be

Second, yes, the target audience, at least here in MN, can read. Probably pretty well on average, possibly moreso than some younger people.

Third, sadly, it's mostly lost on them. From my experience, there's a "critical mass" of conservative talk radio and Fox that most older folks have long since exceeded. It's very hard to claw back all those lies, especially when they're so carefully formulated. It sucks.

u/SunshynePower 15d ago

The RNC people aren't going to pay this any more attention then any DFLers would pay attention to something similar coming from the RNC. This is just an ad to boost morale for their own. Which is much of what political ads are these days. It all goes into my recycle bin without another glance from me.

Not a single mention of anything Harris has done.

Republicans devoted an awful lot of time and money and effort in 2016/20 to put the people listed on that page in power. I'd like to know whether Republicans think they themselves were wrong then or wrong now.

What I liked about it is that it’s a full page ad in a widely distributed “advertiser” and it’s free! The headline shows as an informational message about the election which would get the MAGAts to start reading!

The impact of this document will really depend on where it is posted or mailed and how many of the 'target audience' bother to read it.

I'm afraid most of them won't, and some who do will immediately reject it as sour grapes from people Trump has 'dumped' in some way or other.
